Aquastyles 12 led pico build

I heard all about these Aquastyle builds and had to try one myself. I emailed Ray at support@AquaStyleOnline.com and asked if I could make a custom order and gave him a list of what I wanted. He responded the next day and advised me to buy the normal 12 led kit and he would set me up with what I wanted. Ordered the kit on the 10th and received it on the 17th!!! Opened it up and was pretty impressed with the instructions compared to other things I've bought direct from china... they were completely legible and detailed enough for novices to understand imo. I received everything I asked for plus 2 spare leds of each color, an extra tube of heatsink plaster, (didnt even use all of the first tube) and a fan I didn't even ask for! Which i find out I needed anyway because how small the heatsink is. Here's some pics

Fan with pieces of plastic on the heatsink so the whole thing gets air flow and not just one spot.

Loving the color and the spread from the 80 degree lenses with how close it is.
